Any recommendations for suppliers etc? Have up to 30/month to spend. Currently considering pipex, plus.net & zen.

Also recommendations for hardware setup - ideally like to have wireless, and a card in my laptop, so I can work from anywhere in the house.. one laptop, plus (possibly) some sort of server going on it...

Cheers,
Mark.

Hello

I use Zen and I am extremely happy with their service. You also get 8 free IP addresses, if that is of interest.

Pipex here.

+
£20+VAT per month.
Email/webspace/News all included.
Good performance.

-
No fix IP address. (No problem for me.)
Email service was a bit shaky about a month ago.

S.B.

Same as miles....

And me

Great so far

At the risk of getting laughed off, what are the implications of static / dynamic ip assignment for me?

I understand the difference, and if I think, should understand what difference it makes to me as a consumer, but...

Cheers!

If you want to run your own web/mailgames server, or indeed want the capability for your machine to be easily accessible for any reason then having a fixed IP is useful. In saying that, websites like DNS2GO and DynDNS provide the same functionality for those of us without ISP provided fixed IPs.

Demon have been very good in my experiance. Having been with Pipex and BT they are much better. £24.99 inc vat a month gives
20 meg webspace
Fixed IP (Very useful)
and all the usual stuff.

Thumbs up for Eclipse for me - multiple sites with them and no hassle
